Planning Your Shop
Anything that will be purchased, whether for food or household supplies or new shoes, always know the amount of money you’ll spend. Write down all that will be purchased in paper and bring that list to the store or supermarket. You will be surprised myself, how controlled your spending.
Highly Important?
There are big differences between what is desirable and what is required. Create a second list of items to be purchased. One list of items needed and a list of desired items. Then make a priority. Focus first on meeting the needs list and find ways to get more with less money. The result of these savings can then be used to purchase anything desired. Sometimes, short-term confinement can give you what you want in the long term.
Make comparisons
For clothing and household appliances, never buy on the first comparison. Make a note of the goods, prices and stores. Then do your homework and check other stores. Effort and time you spend will be balanced with the goods you get.
